Brio Technology, the enterprise business intelligence company, has announced that Brio Enterprise has been named one of the "Top 10 Products of 1997" in ComputerWire`s Data Warehouse Tools Bulletin. Over 50 data warehouse products were considered for this sought-after industry award.ComputerWire`s Data Warehouse Tools Bulletin covers the market of data warehouse tools and software products, including query tools, transformation products, integrated toolkits, OLAP servers, ROLAP engines, data mining and metadata management products.According to the report, "One of the key trends within data warehousing is that query tools are moving to a three-tier architecture." Recognising that trend, the report chose BrioQuery and Arbor Software`s WIRED for OLAP as the top two query products of 1997. Arbor Software, a Brio partner, also was ranked the leading product in the MDDB/OLAP category with Arbor Essbase. BrioQuery is an Essbase-ready product."We are delighted that ComputerWire - well-known as a respected industry publication - has chosen Brio Enterprise as a leading query tool and one of the Top Ten Data Warehousing Products for 1997," says Michelle Leslie, head of Abraxas`s recently formed Business Intelligence unit."This strong endorsement, combined with other industry recognition, reinforces the decisions by a growing number of companies to select Brio as their enterprise-wide corporate standard query tool for business intelligence."EDITOR'S NOTE: About the Software Tools BulletinsSoftware Tools Bulletins are written from the perspective of helping all members of the software decision team - from the CFO to IT professionals - build and maintain effective information systems.Each topic area shows why certain products have the power to move an organisation forward, while others could be nothing more than a dead end.
